OSMGraphCLIP-MS
Training dataset for the MS (multiscale) variant of OSMGraphCLIP: "OSMGraphCLIP: Learning Global Location Representations from OpenStreetMap Graphs" (arXiv:2606.08046).
It contains ~200k globally-diverse (lat, lon) locations, and for each location:
- a heterogeneous OSM graph (points, lines, polygons — roads, buildings, land use, POIs — with SBERT node features), and
- multiscale concentric-ring "band" features summarizing OSM content in rings around the location at multiple radii.
These pairs (graph + coordinate, with the band features as auxiliary multiscale signal) are what the graph encoder (OSMHeteroGAT) and location encoder (LocationEncoder) are contrastively aligned on. This dataset was used to train:
| Model | HuggingFace |
|---|---|
| OSMGraphCLIP-MS-L40 | d-michail/OSMGraphCLIP-MS-L40 |
| OSMGraphCLIP-MS-L10 | d-michail/OSMGraphCLIP-MS-L10 |
Code to build datasets in this format, and to train on them, is in the osmgraphclip repo (create_dataset.py, create_multiscale_dataset.py, create_graphs.py, train.py).
Subsets
The dataset is split into two location sets, matching the two location CSVs in the code repo:
| Subset | Locations | Source | Samples with no OSM data |
|---|---|---|---|
satclip_ms/ |
100,000 | data/satclip_locations.csv — primary location set |
1,076 |
h3_ms/ |
99,260 | data/h3_locations.csv — globally-diverse H3-sampled locations |
645 |
Each subset is independent and has the same internal layout.

The raw graphs/ and bands/ folders are not stored directly in the repo (hundreds of thousands of small files each — unfriendly to git/HF). They are shipped as a sequence of zip shards instead. Each shard stores entries as <subfolder>/<filename>, so unzipping every shard for a given subset/subfolder combo into that subset's root directory reconstructs the original folder exactly, with no overlap between shards.
Reconstructing graphs/ and bands/
Use unpack_shards.py from this repo:
python3 unpack_shards.py h3_ms satclip_ms
This walks the given root(s), finds every *.zip-parts/ directory, and unzips all shards inside it into the parent directory — reconstructing h3_ms/graphs/, h3_ms/bands/, satclip_ms/graphs/, satclip_ms/bands/. It's safe to re-run.
graphs/ contents
For each location, identified by an integer id <id>:
osm_<id>_graph.pkl— a pickledtorch_geometric.data.HeteroDataobject: the heterogeneous OSM graph with node typespolygon(392-dim features),line(390-dim),point(386-dim), and all 9 directed edge-type combinations between them (edge_index+edge_attr). Node features are SBERT (all-MiniLM-L6-v2, 384-dim) embeddings of OSM tags augmented with per-type geometric attributes. Built with the GeoLink-derivedosm_to_graph.pypipeline (graph_method: geolink).osm_<id>_{point,linestring,multilinestring,polygon,multipolygon}.geojson.gz— the raw gzipped OSM GeoJSON geometries (with tags) that the graph for that location was built from. Not every geometry type is present for every location.osm_<id>.nodata— present instead of the geojson files when no OSM data was found in the location's bounding box. The corresponding graph is still written (an emptyHeteroData,method = "zero"indataset.db), so<id>always has a valid graph pickle —.nodatajust flags "empty, not missing/corrupted".
bands/ contents
osm_<id>_bands.npz— multiscale concentric-ring band features at radii[2000, 10000, 20000]meters (seeband_radii_minmetadata.json), keyed by:band_radii— the 3 radii, in metersspatial_features(3, 47)+spatial_feature_names— per-band aggregate spatial statisticssubbin_spatial(3, 2, 16)+subbin_feature_names— per-band, per-subbin (inner/outer half of the ring) spatial statisticssector_spatial(3, 4, 11)+sector_feature_names— per-band, per-sector (quadrant) spatial statisticsglobal_embeddings(3, 384),subbin_embeddings(3, 2, 384),sector_embeddings(3, 4, 384)— SBERT embeddings of OSM tags aggregated at the whole-band / subbin / sector level
These give the graph encoder multiscale context beyond the single bounding box used for the main graph.
dataset.db
A SQLite database indexing every location by id, with three tables (same ids line up across tables and against the osm_<id>_* filenames):
downloads:lat,lon,bbox_size,geojson_prefix(theosm_<id>prefix),timestamp— one row per raw OSM download.graphs:lat,lon,bbox_size,graph_pickle(filename),method(geolinkorzero),timestamp— one row per built graph.band_features:lat,lon,bands_path(filename),band_radii,timestamp— one row per band-feature file.
metadata.json
Generation config shared by every sample in the subset:
